    Toyota is involved with NASCAR yes, as well as numerous other forms of motorsport. lol

    Toyota also meets NASCAR's requirements to compete, not sure if Mazda does nor would it really be their market to run in.

    Pretty sure those were Goodyear's in Days of Thunder, not Continentals. lol Don't just go off tire lettering, in that case, NASCAR:



    NASCAR is sometimes pretty boring on TV, but there's an INSANE amount of talent in there and races in real life, although I've only seen partially one actual race, is far different.
